Abstract
A fastener driver includes a housing, a cylinder disposed within the housing, a piston positioned and moveable within the cylinder, and a driver blade. The driver blade is moveable with the piston from a first position toward a second position along a longitudinal axis during a fastener driving operation. The driver blade includes a body defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of teeth between the first and second ends. The teeth and the first end of the driver blade each have a thickness that is uniform and defined in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. A total length of the fastener driver as measured between a distal end of the nosepiece and a distal end of the cylinder is less than 11.4 inches (289.6 mm).

A fastener driver comprising:
- a housing;
- a cylinder disposed within the housing;
- a piston positioned and moveable within the cylinder;
- a driver blade including a body defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of teeth between the first and second ends, wherein the first end of the driver blade is configured to be attached to the piston, wherein the driver blade is moveable with the piston from a first position toward a second position along a longitudinal axis during a fastener driving operation;
- and
- a nosepiece at least partially defining a fastener driving track through which fasteners are driven;
- wherein the teeth and the first end of the driver blade each have a thickness defined in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the thickness of the first end of the driver blade and the thickness of the teeth are uniform, and
- wherein a total length of the fastener driver as measured between a distal end of the nosepiece and a distal end of the cylinder is less than 11.4 inches (289.6 mm).
